Selecting files for processing:

How to start batch processing in the stand-alone version:

Select a folder from the folder tree* or files from the file list. To select multiple files, use the Shift or Ctrl keys:

·	To select contiguous files, click on the first file name, hold down the Shift key and click on the last file name (or click on the top file and press the down arrow key while holding down the Shift key).

·	To select random files, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on file names.

* You cannot select more than one folder in the stand-alone version.

How to start batch processing from Windows Explorer context menu:

Select folders or files using the Shift or Ctrl keys, as described above. Right-click on selected items to get to the context menu and select Photo Toolkit.

Editing Images:

After you've selected multiple items, you can edit them only with plugins that allow batch processing:

Select the desired tool and correction type (automatic or manual correction). If you want to do automatic correction (in Fix Red Eye, Color Correction and Denoise plugins), fully automated batch processing will be performed.

If manual correction has to be done, you edit images one by one. However, batch processing saves you the effort of having to open each next file. Navigate easily using the

and

buttons. After you have edited the last image, click Finish to get to the Save results window.
